The weekly menu, with the shopping already added up

Tell it how many people you feed, what nobody eats, your budget and how much time you have on weeknights. The menu lands in your meal planner, and the shopping list comes as one list for the week: if three dinners need onions, you see the total once, not three lines.

Kitchen SOS

The sauce split. The rice is gluey. The dough did not rise. Describe what you see and you get the likely cause and what can still be done with what is in the pan, before it is too late to fix.

Both tools are part of the Pro plan.
